This is a gem of a school! My child attended for two years and I am so pleased with the experience…read more The school environment is welcoming and fosters curiosity, learning, and discovery. The excitement with which my child talks about the day's work, and the enthusiasm for learning that has been instilled, are very encouraging. I truly appreciate the Montessori approach, especially the practical life aspect, which has positively shaped my child's day-to-day habits. I'm also grateful for school's effort to educate parents on the Montessori philosophy and methods, as there is a lot that I have been able to incorporate into my home life with positive results for my family. The teachers were continually patient and understanding with my child, who had long stretches of regularly getting upset during the drop-off time. I would highly recommend Auburn's House to any parent!

When beginning to plan our move from VA to CA, finding a non-traditional school was important to…read moreus. Our daughter had been in a traditional classroom preschool setting which included circle time, small group work, and play time. What we started to realize is that she was developing a dislike for learning. She would fuss and not want to stay if we ever arrived at school during circle time or small groups. As an educator and PhD candidate studying Education this really bothered me. Knowing about the Montessori method, I began to search for this curriculum as I felt it might be a better fit for my child. I found Auburn's House and have been so pleased. My daughter is excited to go to school again, and loves to tell us everything she is learning! At school, our daughter is taught in a manner that develops the whole-child. This is very important as we want her to be well-rounded and have a variety of interests. In addition, the school supports the emotional and social aspects of the child that is void in most other settings. This gives her the ability to become an independent learner and explore the world around her. The special attention to the emotional and social skills has turned our quiet and somewhat shy child into a confident and independent child. While we could go on for pages about the benefits of this type of education, especially for preschool age children, the best way to get an idea of what an AMAZING place this school is for children is to visit and watch the interactions between the students and the teachers. It is truly something I never could have imagined after my years in education. Ms. Auburn has a gift, and we have been so lucky to be able to reap the benefits of her gift. Each child is an individual and Ms. Auburn appreciates this and helps each individual to grow on his/her own path. This is so important to us as parents, and to me as an educator. I could not have chosen a better place for my child!

Our family will always have a special place in our hearts for Serendipity. Even a year after…read moreleaving, my daughter still talks about her teachers, her friends, and all the things she learned there - which speaks volumes about the impact they had. The teachers are incredibly warm and caring, and it truly feels like more than just a preschool. The environment is beautiful and thoughtfully designed, with creative monthly themes that make learning fun and engaging. They even have live animals, including a bunny and reptiles, which my daughter absolutely loved. She especially enjoyed the baking activities and still uses skills she learned there in her everyday life. We also really appreciated the communication with weekly progress reports keeping us informed and the monthly photo albums were such a joy to go through together, helping her re-live and talk about everything she experienced. The holiday pageant was another highlight! So well-organized and heartfelt, just like everything they do. We were blown away! Most importantly, they prepared our daughter so well for "big girl school" (TK), giving her confidence and a strong foundation. If you're looking for a nurturing, creative, and enriching place for your child, I can't recommend Serendipity enough. It's more than a preschool. It's a place where children feel seen, supported, loved and inspired.

We love St. Angela's Preschool! Our children have both been there since the age of 2 1/2, and we…read morehave been completely delighted with the quality of education and the warm family environment of the community. The educators all have years of experience in teaching preschool, and our children have grown and developed in leaps and bounds. Our kids have progressed from potty training to reading over the past few years, and we know that St. Angela's has fully prepared them for kindergarten and beyond! Although St. Angela's is a Catholic preschool, and there is religion and faith education, they are extraordinarily welcoming of all, and we have never felt that the teachings were exclusionary in any way. As Father Seamus said at one back to school night, "we welcome those of all faiths - or of no faith", and we can certainly attest to that welcoming attitude. Your toddlers will learn, grow, and develop into happy and healthy children here. Highly recommended.

The kids learn to clean up their toys, set table, manners, communicate well with other students, sharing, scripture, songs, weather, etc. I highly recommend going for a tour and gathering info if your looking to send your little one to preschool soon!

We got on the list about 3 months before we arrives and both children were accepted over the summer when lots of turn-over occurs. There is priority to those with two working parents or one working one looking for work or single parent. As there should be. It may be frustrating if your child can't attend, but the process is clearly laid out or explained if you call. The front desk staff is knowledgeable and has overall been great. The room staff is also nice and keeps us informed. They also offer twice a month "date nights" from 6-10 and they will watch your kids for $4/per hour/per child. We routinely take advantage of this service, being able to go out alone and have both kids watched for maximum of $32 is wonderful!
